August 1988
A Poem for Darlene
lying here, on my bed reading the many letters you’ve written listening to the “Messiah” praising the God you love I remember the things we’ve done the talks we’ve had the friends we’ve been and are (though distant) I remember your smile how it used to light up the room I remember your voice and mine in conversation each a shoulder for the other a sounding board for life in all its variety I remember your letters always friendly always praising God which I seldom answered do you remember the Youth Service August ‘86 in Port Perry? I wrote this there for you and Doug:
sitting next to you in church last night I thought what glory! getting carried away in love God was truly there!
El Shaddai
Praise the God:
do you remember the soloist faltering on the words the three of us and others began to sing we knew the song and felt it bursting out a church full of youth joyfully singing freely praising God
El Shaddai
I remember it often God was truly there! He was truly in us! as He is truly in you! in all I remember lies proof
you said (long years ago) I was a friend to you it may be true for you are one of those that showed me God how could I not be your friend after that?
and lying here, I think that soon you are to marry William the man of your dreams you spoke of him often I pray that God will bless you that He will remain truly in you in the two of you as now your pathways join others (like myself) are praying they join also with God’s in Him alone lies life (you’ve told me that so often I remember)
I pray God will keep you and guide you through your life as He promised I pray too, that you love Him in the time to come as you did in the time now gone
continue to inspire me with your faith and joy God bless you as He has blessed me through you
For Darlene Borger, a very good friend Her wedding to her Will was Beth and my first date.
